Liverpool will be given a parting gift by Nike after securing the 2024/25 Premier League title.
The Reds are set to change kit supplier from next season onwards and it was confirmed in March that Adidas will reunite with Liverpool for a multi-year partnership.
Liverpool has partnered with the US outfitter since 2020.
The club will begin and end that five-year contract as English champions after it was confirmed that Liverpool has secured first place following a 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend
That will be a welcome boost heading into the transfer market, with Virgil van Dijk already revealing he expects a “big summer” at Anfield.
It is likely Liverpool will have similar arrangements with other commercial partners, with Arne Slot’s side set to receive the highest payment of any club in the Premier League after winning the title.
"There is no specific prize for being crowned champions but Liverpool will earn the biggest payment from the Premier League’s “central payments”.
“The merit payments are based on a sliding scale calculated according to where you finish in the league, from 1st to 20th,” the Premier League revealed this week
“The champions receive 20 times the basic merit payment, the club finishing second 19 times, and so on, down to the club finishing bottom receiving one times the merit payment.
“Last year, the highest merit payment was £22.6million claimed by Manchester City as champions, while Sheffield United received the lowest merit payments (£1.1m) as the bottom club.”
